The 2024 Argentina protests are a significant wave of protests and riots in response to reforms introduced by President Javier Milei.
Milei proposes reducing government ministries and addressing economic challenges through spending cuts and fiscal reforms, criticizing previous administrations for excessive spending.[1] Protestors on the other hand are criticizing Milei reforms and government for causing inflation, poverty[2] and weakening Argentina's democracy.[3]
The reforms include tax breaks for investors and the firing of thousands of state employees. The protestors have called these reforms "radical overhaul".[4]
On June 12, 2024, Argentina's Senate passed Milei reforms with a majority of 37 to 36. The package includes "measures on privatization and tax breaks for investors".[5] Most of the protests took place in Buenos Aires, the capital and most populous city in Argentina. Riot police attempted to disperse the protestors and arrested 18. A car belonging to the radio station Cadena 3 was set on fire.[6]
